  1. Wow glad to stumble on this post. I have often been able to hit these when I am playing a lot and had no idea why. I could always feel it off the face like it would almost feel like I hit the ball thin and the ball comes out super low and checks. When I can't hit them reliably I have thought maybe its the bounce getting involved and redirecting the attack angle which kind of makes sense.
  2. Actually that sounds like the way I would like to use it, I assumed you might have GPS issues if it was in the pocket.
  3. My Arccos sub is about to renew and I'm thinking I will cancel it and go with ShotScope. Arccos more expensive than I'd like and misses the mark on a lot of things. Have any of you given up on the H4 or most are happy with it? I'm not sure about having to either wear it on my belt where I'll have to remove it to see the GPS or throw it on my bag and have to remove it every time I get to the green to use pin collect, seems a bit awkward on the green. How do you carry your H4? I may just have to try to get used to wearing a watch.
  4. This winter, I set up a golf simulator in my garage. I can play one of my local courses with a fairly realistic level of accuracy, and I am currently in the process of building another local course to add to the sim. This got me thinking that I can potentially play a lot of rounds that I can't post for my handicap, so my handicap my not match my skill level very well when it comes tournament time. Not only that, I can setup the courses I play with wind and conditions similar to what I might be playing in a tournament. My questions - If a golfer uses a simulator to practice on a specific course before a tournament, does it give them an unfair advantage? Should this practice be considered a violation of the rules, especially if the simulation closely resembles the actual course? If a golfer consistently performs well on a simulated course, should their performance count towards their handicap?
  5. After all of the arguing in this thread I ended up finding IMO the best route to go on a budget ish instead of the bushnell - a used Foresight GC2 I found one for $2500, there is no subscription lock in whatsoever, and the accuracy is pretty much as good as it gets. GC3 is great, but I couldn't get that and a projector/mat/screen/software so I think this is the next best option. @TourSpoon And you should absolutely get a powerful PC and GSPRO software, it is so freaking cool to be able to play the courses they are playing on Tour nearly every week.
  6. See I don't think that it was particularly slow at all for a tour player. I believe this is match play so he has to make the putt. Here for example - Cam Smith, 53 seconds into this video until he takes his stroke and it appears like he was reading the putt before the video started. Granted in the Keegan Bradley clip he may have been doing some reading before hand as well. Or how bout this one of Rickie I just don't get what people are so up in arms about. Keegan in this clip is probably faster than most, yet people think it is slow and the only thing I can come up with is that it looks odd to them.
  7. This is old footage, forgive me if my search missed any post about it, but first time I saw it coming across twitter. Is this actually slow? I don't think that it is, everyone is roasting him because it looks odd to them doesn't have a clue. Any other guy not using aimpoint would be 20 ft behind their ball, 20 foot other side of the cup, analyzing from every angle below the hole. 42 seconds to hit the putt seems not bad for this putt IMO.
  8. I did a similar thing to your son, the mental strife it caused after a lifetime of "GO TO COLLEGE" cost my mental health a lot at the time. There is just no way it continues to work as is, either colleges implode as people start going elsewhere for education, or it becomes completely government provided.
  9. Its in a sense its like you need a "credit" score but for your future self. I think that would be really hard to implement, but if you leave it up to the free market rather than the government stepping in it might work out but it would look very different. I imagine it would really end up with a bunch of different college paths disappearing. As a software engineer, I've see a huge shift, there are way more people coming into the field and still making very good money with no college education. I think a future with a significant number of options for career paths without going to college is knocking on the door right now. College Educated != Educated. If the Biden admin really wanted to make a difference, they would pay people and companies to take on internships and apprenticeships.
  10. The solution for future borrowers is that school needs to be cheaper. The only way I see that happening is if people stop going and find other ways to be successful.
  11. Generations raised to think 4 years of education after high school is the only way to be successful, encouraged to take that route regardless of cost. Compound that with a lack of financial literacy + Government guarantees students will get loans = Schools jack up prices and make a killing The government caused this stupid thing and schools and loan companies took advantage. They should pay for it, but we know that is never gonna happen. Wiping debt is a bad solution, but that US government is really good at bad solutions. I think the long term solution - society needs to quit putting school on a pedestal. Education is absolutely important, but we don't need these schools to provide it. There are so many ways to get educated, and hopefully people and companies start embracing those. I see it shifting a lot as a software engineer, and I think other fields can do the same thing.
  12. The twitter comments are full of it already. I think it will be cool, but easy to see why its going to get hate - it looks like a game show set. Just need Steve Harvey up there asking questions.
  13. The arena is actually in space. This is going to get so much hate haha.
  14. LIV: Check out our fresh new format for competitive golf Tiger and Rory: Hold my beer Okay now this PGAT player suspension looks even worse than it did before. You can't play on that competing tour because we partnered with our big cats on a different one. I hope this isn't a mega flop, I can imagine it being pretty cool. Can also imagine it being pretty stupid. Hype vid
  15. Not sure how that joke comment is wrapping myself in victimhood but you are the antitrust law expert so I will defer to your authority.
